The function compute_rev_name() can return NULL sometimes (e.g. right
after 'submodule init'). The current code makes 'submodule status'
print this:
19d97bf5af05312267c2e874ee6bcf584d9e9681 sha1collisiondetection ((null))
This ugly 'null' adds no value to the user using this command. More
importantly printf() on some platform can't handle NULL as a string
and will crash instead of printing '(null)'.
Check for this and skip printing this part (the alternative is
printing '(n/a)' or something but I think that is just noise).

This aims to make git-submodule 'status' a built-in. Hence, the function
cmd_status() is ported from shell to C. This is done by introducing
four functions: module_status(), submodule_status_cb(),
submodule_status() and print_status().
The function module_status() acts as the front-end of the subcommand.
It parses subcommand's options and then calls the function
module_list_compute() for computing the list of submodules. Then
this functions calls for_each_listed_submodule() looping through the
list obtained.
Then for_each_listed_submodule() calls submodule_status_cb() for each of
the submodule in its list. The function submodule_status_cb() calls
submodule_status() after passing appropriate arguments to the funciton.
Function submodule_status() is responsible for generating the status
each submodule it is called for, and then calls print_status().
Finally, the function print_status() handles the printing of submodule's
status.
Function set_name_rev() is also ported from git-submodule to the
submodule--helper builtin function compute_rev_name(), which now
generates the value of the revision name as required.

The original git-shortlog command parsed the output of
git-log, and the logic went something like this:
1. Read stdin looking for "author" lines.
2. Parse the identity into its name/email bits.
3. Apply mailmap to the name/email.
4. Reformat the identity into a single buffer that is our
"key" for grouping entries (either a name by default,
or "name <email>" if --email was given).
The first part happens in read_from_stdin(), and the other
three steps are part of insert_one_record().
When we do an internal traversal, we just swap out the stdin
read in step 1 for reading the commit objects ourselves.
Prior to 2db6b83d18 (shortlog: replace hand-parsing of
author with pretty-printer, 2016-01-18), that made sense; we
still had to parse the ident in the commit message.
But after that commit, we use pretty.c's "%an <%ae>" to get
the author ident (for simplicity). Which means that the
pretty printer is doing a parse/format under the hood, and
then we parse the result, apply the mailmap, and format the
result again.
Instead, we can just ask pretty.c to do all of those steps
for us (including the mailmap via "%aN <%aE>", and not
formatting the address when --email is missing).
And then we can push steps 2-4 into read_from_stdin(). This
speeds up "git shortlog -ns" on linux.git by about 3%, and
eliminates a leak in insert_one_record() of the namemailbuf
strbuf.

It's a common pattern in git commands to allocate some
memory that should last for the lifetime of the program and
then not bother to free it, relying on the OS to throw it
away.
This keeps the code simple, and it's fast (we don't waste
time traversing structures or calling free at the end of the
program). But it also triggers warnings from memory-leak
checkers like valgrind or LSAN. They know that the memory
was still allocated at program exit, but they don't know
_when_ the leaked memory stopped being useful. If it was
early in the program, then it's probably a real and
important leak. But if it was used right up until program
exit, it's not an interesting leak and we'd like to suppress
it so that we can see the real leaks.
This patch introduces an UNLEAK() macro that lets us do so.
To understand its design, let's first look at some of the
alternatives.
Unfortunately the suppression systems offered by
leak-checking tools don't quite do what we want. A
leak-checker basically knows two things:
1. Which blocks were allocated via malloc, and the
callstack during the allocation.
2. Which blocks were left un-freed at the end of the
program (and which are unreachable, but more on that
later).
Their suppressions work by mentioning the function or
callstack of a particular allocation, and marking it as OK
to leak. So imagine you have code like this:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
/* this allocates some memory */
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
return 0;
}
You can say "ignore allocations from some_function(),
they're not leaks". But that's not right. That function may
be called elsewhere, too, and we would potentially want to
know about those leaks.
So you can say "ignore the callstack when main calls
some_function". That works, but your annotations are
brittle. In this case it's only two functions, but you can
imagine that the actual allocation is much deeper. If any of
the intermediate code changes, you have to update the
suppression.
What we _really_ want to say is that "the value assigned to
p at the end of the function is not a real leak". But
leak-checkers can't understand that; they don't know about
"p" in the first place.
However, we can do something a little bit tricky if we make
some assumptions about how leak-checkers work. They
generally don't just report all un-freed blocks. That would
report even globals which are still accessible when the
leak-check is run. Instead they take some set of memory
(like BSS) as a root and mark it as "reachable". Then they
scan the reachable blocks for anything that looks like a
pointer to a malloc'd block, and consider that block
reachable. And then they scan those blocks, and so on,
transitively marking anything reachable from a global as
"not leaked" (or at least leaked in a different category).
So we can mark the value of "p" as reachable by putting it
into a variable with program lifetime. One way to do that is
to just mark "p" as static. But that actually affects the
run-time behavior if the function is called twice (you
aren't likely to call main() twice, but some of our cmd_*()
functions are called from other commands).
Instead, we can trick the leak-checker by putting the value
into _any_ reachable bytes. This patch keeps a global
linked-list of bytes copied from "unleaked" variables. That
list is reachable even at program exit, which confers
recursive reachability on whatever values we unleak.
In other words, you can do:
int cmd_foo(...)
{
char *p = some_function();
printf("%s", p);
UNLEAK(p);
return 0;
}
to annotate "p" and suppress the leak report.
But wait, couldn't we just say "free(p)"? In this toy
example, yes. But UNLEAK()'s byte-copying strategy has
several advantages over actually freeing the memory:
1. It's recursive across structures. In many cases our "p"
is not just a pointer, but a complex struct whose
fields may have been allocated by a sub-function. And
in some cases (e.g., dir_struct) we don't even have a
function which knows how to free all of the struct
members.
By marking the struct itself as reachable, that confers
reachability on any pointers it contains (including those
found in embedded structs, or reachable by walking
heap blocks recursively.
2. It works on cases where we're not sure if the value is
allocated or not. For example:
char *p = argc > 1 ? argv[1] : some_function();
It's safe to use UNLEAK(p) here, because it's not
freeing any memory. In the case that we're pointing to
argv here, the reachability checker will just ignore
our bytes.
3. Likewise, it works even if the variable has _already_
been freed. We're just copying the pointer bytes. If
the block has been freed, the leak-checker will skip
over those bytes as uninteresting.
4. Because it's not actually freeing memory, you can
UNLEAK() before we are finished accessing the variable.
This is helpful in cases like this:
char *p = some_function();
return another_function(p);
Writing this with free() requires:
int ret;
char *p = some_function();
ret = another_function(p);
free(p);
return ret;
But with unleak we can just write:
char *p = some_function();
UNLEAK(p);
return another_function(p);
This patch adds the UNLEAK() macro and enables it
automatically when Git is compiled with SANITIZE=leak. In
normal builds it's a noop, so we pay no runtime cost.
It also adds some UNLEAK() annotations to show off how the
feature works. On top of other recent leak fixes, these are
enough to get t0000 and t0001 to pass when compiled with
LSAN.
Note the case in commit.c which actually converts a
strbuf_release() into an UNLEAK. This code was already
non-leaky, but the free didn't do anything useful, since
we're exiting. Converting it to an annotation means that
non-leak-checking builds pay no runtime cost. The cost is
minimal enough that it's probably not worth going on a
crusade to convert these kinds of frees to UNLEAKS. I did it
here for consistency with the "sb" leak (though it would
have been equally correct to go the other way, and turn them
both into strbuf_release() calls).

Similar to 65969d43d1 (merge: honor prepare-commit-msg hook, 2011-02-14)
merge should also honor the commit-msg hook: When a merge is stopped due
to conflicts or --no-commit, the subsequent commit calls the commit-msg
hook. However, it is not called after a clean merge. Fix this
inconsistency by invoking the hook after clean merges as well.
This change is motivated by Gerrit's commit-msg hook to install a ChangeId
trailer into the commit message. Without such a ChangeId, Gerrit refuses
to accept any commit by default, such that the inconsistency of (not)
running the commit-msg hook between commit and merge leads to confusion
and might block people from getting their work done.
As the githooks man page is very vocal about the possibility of skipping
the commit-msg hook via the --no-verify option, implement the option
in merge, too.
'git merge --continue' is currently implemented as calling cmd_commit
with no further arguments. This works for most other merge related options,
such as demonstrated via the --allow-unrelated-histories flag in the
test. The --no-verify option however is not remembered across invocations
of git-merge. Originally the author assumed an alternative in which the
'git merge --continue' command accepts the --no-verify flag, but that
opens up the discussion which flags are allows to the continued merge
command and which must be given in the first invocation.

Meanwhile "git fetch" does support submodule.recurse, producing

recursively fetches submodules but does not update them after fetch.

This is to address concerns raised by ThreadSanitizer on the mailing list
about threaded unprotected R/W access to map.size with my previous "disallow
rehash" change (0607e10009ee4e37cb49b4cec8d28a9dda1656a4).
See:
https://public-inbox.org/git/adb37b70139fd1e2bac18bfd22c8b96683ae18eb.1502780344.git.martin.agren@gmail.com/
Add API to hashmap to disable item counting and thus automatic rehashing.
Also include API to later re-enable them.
When item counting is disabled, the map.size field is invalid. So to
prevent accidents, the field has been renamed and an accessor function
hashmap_get_size() has been added. All direct references to this
field have been been updated. And the name of the field changed
to map.private_size to communicate this.
Here is the relevant output from ThreadSanitizer showing the problem:

Using for_each_ref_in() with a full refname has always been

Commit 03df567fbf (for_each_bisect_ref(): don't trim

rev-parse handles this option on its own. We can use the

We read the tree objects with fill_tree_descriptor(), but
never actually free the resulting buffers, causing a memory

Depending on whether we're in --keep mode, git-reset may
feed one or two trees to unpack_trees(). We start a counter
at "1" and then increment it to "2" only for the two-tree
case. But that means we must always subtract one to find the
correct array slot to fill with each descriptor.
Instead, let's start at "0" and just increment our counter
after adding each tree. This skips the extra subtraction,
and will make things much easier when we start to actually
free our tree buffers.
While we're at it, let's make the first allocation use the
slot at "desc + nr", too, even though we know "nr" is 0 at
that point. It makes the two fill_tree_descriptor() calls
consistent (always "desc + nr", followed by always
incrementing "nr").

After run_diff_files, we throw away the rev_info struct,
including the pathspec that we copied into it, leaking the
memory. this is probably not a big deal in practice. We
usually only run this once per process, and the leak is
proportional to the pathspec list we're already holding in
memory.
But it's still a leak, and it pollutes leak-checker output,

Now that it's safe to declare a "struct lock_file" on the
stack, we can do so (and avoid an intentional leak). These
leaks were found by running t0000 and t0001 under valgrind
(though certainly other similar leaks exist and just don't
happen to be exercised by those tests).
Initializing the lock_file's inner tempfile with NULL is not
strictly necessary in these cases, but it's a good practice
to model. It means that if we were to call a function like
rollback_lock_file() on a lock that was never taken in the
first place, it becomes a quiet noop (rather than undefined
behavior).
Likewise, it's always safe to rollback_lock_file() on a file
that has already been committed or deleted, since that
operation is a noop on an inactive lockfile (and that's why
the case in config.c can drop the "if (lock)" check as we
move away from using a pointer).

The previous commit taught the tempfile code to give up
ownership over tempfiles that have been renamed or deleted.
That makes it possible to use a stack variable like this:
struct tempfile t;
create_tempfile(&t, ...);
...
if (!err)
rename_tempfile(&t, ...);
else
delete_tempfile(&t);
But doing it this way has a high potential for creating
memory errors. The tempfile we pass to create_tempfile()
ends up on a global linked list, and it's not safe for it to
go out of scope until we've called one of those two
deactivation functions.
Imagine that we add an early return from the function that
forgets to call delete_tempfile(). With a static or heap
tempfile variable, the worst case is that the tempfile hangs
around until the program exits (and some functions like
setup_shallow_temporary rely on this intentionally, creating
a tempfile and then leaving it for later cleanup).
But with a stack variable as above, this is a serious memory
error: the variable goes out of scope and may be filled with
garbage by the time the tempfile code looks at it. Let's
see if we can make it harder to get this wrong.
Since many callers need to allocate arbitrary numbers of
tempfiles, we can't rely on static storage as a general
solution. So we need to turn to the heap. We could just ask
all callers to pass us a heap variable, but that puts the
burden on them to call free() at the right time.
Instead, let's have the tempfile code handle the heap
allocation _and_ the deallocation (when the tempfile is
deactivated and removed from the list).
This changes the return value of all of the creation
functions. For the cleanup functions (delete and rename),
we'll add one extra bit of safety: instead of taking a
tempfile pointer, we'll take a pointer-to-pointer and set it
to NULL after freeing the object. This makes it safe to
double-call functions like delete_tempfile(), as the second
call treats the NULL input as a noop. Several callsites
follow this pattern.
The resulting patch does have a fair bit of noise, as each
caller needs to be converted to handle:
1. Storing a pointer instead of the struct itself.
2. Passing the pointer instead of taking the struct
address.
3. Handling a "struct tempfile *" return instead of a file
descriptor.
We could play games to make this less noisy. For example, by
defining the tempfile like this:
struct tempfile {
struct heap_allocated_part_of_tempfile {
int fd;
...etc
} *actual_data;
}
Callers would continue to have a "struct tempfile", and it
would be "active" only when the inner pointer was non-NULL.
But that just makes things more awkward in the long run.
There aren't that many callers, so we can simply bite
the bullet and adjust all of them. And the compiler makes it
easy for us to find them all.

Conversion from uchar[20] to struct object_id continues; this is to
ensure that we do not assume sizeof(struct object_id) is the same
as the length of SHA-1 hash (or length of longest hash we support).

commit: rewrite read_graft_line
commit: allocate array using object_id size
commit: replace the raw buffer with strbuf in read_graft_line

Earlier, dddbad728c ("timestamp_t: a new data type for timestamps",
2017-04-26) changed several types to timestamp_t.
5589e87fd8 ("name-rev: change a "long" variable to timestamp_t",
2017-05-20) cleaned up a missed variable, but both missed a _MAX
constant.
Change the remaining constant to the one appropriate for the current
type
